Chapter 46

*Erika's POV*

From that moment on, I knew that my death is waiting for me. I gripped onto the chair and shut my eyes closed.

After for about 6 minutes of driving, he pulled up. I immediately open my eyes and loosen my grip on the chair.

I turned to look at Blake but he had disappeared. My door then burst open and immediately a hand grabbed onto my bicep and pulled me out.

He pushed me near a fence. I took a quick look around at the scenery. We were on a hill and I was standing near the edge of it.

Turning on my heel to face Blake, he appears closer than I thought. We stared into each others eyes. I wasn't brave enough to start the conversation and luckily he did.

"Tell me," he lean closer and trapped me between his hands as he holds onto the fence behind me "what did I do wrong?"

Seriously? He drive us here just to talk about this? Is he mad? "Blake just forget it. It passed anyways..." I pushed his hand to pass through but his grip on the fence was tighter than I imagined.

"Then why are you ignoring me? Why are you avoiding me? Tell me " he begged, almost forcing.

"Blake its nothing" I lied "I just want to get home now ok. I don't want my parents to worry about me"

Silence was his reply. He kept starring at me, while I avoided them. He brought his finger to my chin and lift it up, to face him.

Face to face, we stood near the edge of the hill. Without losing anymore time, he lean in and kisses me on the lips.

"Blake!" I pushed him away, as I realized what we were doing. He looked confused and angry at the same time.

I ran off, leaving him hanging by himself. There were a couple of cab's when I reached the bottom of the hill. The hill wasn't really that high, maybe around 18-20ft.

"Where to?" The driver asked.

(At home)

I stomp my way into my room. Noticing my parents car outside, I knew they were already home.

I flopped down on my bed and buried my face into the pillow. "Honey..are you ok?" Mom knocked on the door before she enters in.

I groaned in reply. "What's wrong?" She asked, sitting next to me on the bed.

"Why did I have to go home with Blake again?" I asked purposely while I already knew the answer to it.

"Aww honey, I'm sorry you had to go home with him. We were really busy. Zack's dad called us, he wanted to talk with us. What did Blake do to you? Did he hurt you?" Mom asked, cupping my cheek to see my face. She scanned my it for any harm done, but none.

"Its nothing" I removed her hands away.

"He seems like a nice guy. Why don't you like him?"

"Moommm!" I moaned "its not that I don't like him but you know that me and Jack are hooking up again. So I don't want Jack to see us together or something"

"Owh you are? That's great....alright then sweetie. I'll leave you alone. Goodnight" a kiss on the forehead and she left.

(The next day)

I was really hoping that I won't see Blake today, I thought as I walk down the hallway.

"Hey, Erika" Jack waved as he walked pass through the crowds.

"Jack!" I ran to give him a hug.

*Jack's POV*

I need to tell her the truth. I basically got accepted to a University in California. All I was hoping for, is that she would be happy for me.

I ran through the crowds as I spot her at her locker "hey, Erika!"

She ran and gave me a hug. She was in a really good mood today but I don't want to ruin that by telling her that in leaving tomorrow.

"Hey..what's up?" She asked as she pulls away.

"Uhh.." I hesitated but thinking back about it, I better to tell her now before its too late "I want to tell you something but please don't get mad"

She seems confused at first but she nodded in understanding "what is it?"

"I...I got accepted to the University in California and i-I'm leaving tomorrow" I fiddle with my finger, avoiding her eye contact.

"What!" She shrieked. I looked up to see her expression. It was undescribable.

"You're not mad are you?" I asked, lifting my shoulder slightly.

She attack me with a huge hug and stayed there for a while " Jack, I'm not mad. I'm really proud of you. Congrats" she whispered into my ear "but you're leaving tomorrow" she pull away and plastered a sad face on.

"This wasn't my choice Erika, please understand me"

"Nonono..I mean its fine because I'm moving to California too. Next month."

Hearing that from her, makes all my problems flies away. I was really hoping to see her again when I leave but not anymore because she's moving to California.

"That's great!" I gave her hug "you got accepted too?"

"Of course!" She punches my bicep.

"Haha" I laughed sarcastically "wanna meet after school and spent the last day in NY with me?"

"Of course!" She gleefully replied and heads to her class as the bell rang.

I waved her off as she skipped away.
